SEATTLE– Just weeks before Christmas, Jerome Dumlao lost his life in a crosswalk in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. Today, Eric Murillo, the drunk driver convicted of killing him, was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison.
“You really took something special from me. I don’t think you will understand the pain my whole family is going through,” said a tearful Alida Linavat, sister-in-law to Dumlao.
Dumlao’s relatives think Murillo received too light a sentence for his crime of vehicular homicide.
“Murillo’s sentence will never come close to the life sentence of the pain of losing someone we love so dearly,” Jennifer Dumlao told Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ramsdell. Read more about 10 DUI Convictions?!?

The Examiner sums it up right here. “What was he thinking?”
As a Lynnwood DUI Attorney, I’ve seen a lot of boneheaded things, but when you’re ALREADY in trouble for a few things – and a lawyer (who’s supposed to be intelligent) – brandishing a knife while DUI is a BAD idea.

Fox was booked into King County Jail. Bail was set at $3,000. Read more about Boneheaded Lawyer
1000+ DUI cases hang in the balance
As a Snohomish County DUI Lawyer, I try to stay abreast of the cutting edge issues in DUI law – but furthermore – for my client’s sake – I try to be a part of any large challenges. You may have heard about this argument over “uncertainty” in Snohomish County. A small group of lawyers, myself included, hired Mr. Vosk to argue this highly scientific, yet very basic argument. One that has hundreds, if not thousands of Lynnwood DUI cases hanging on it.
If the BAC tests are flawed – shouldn’t we all be able to say they’re flawed? Read more about Uncertainty
